The comments in this thread are hilarious. I guess some of you all have forgotten about that can of duster you’ve relied on for the last 30+ years to clean the muck from just about every keyboard. I don’t understand the rage...

I use my MBP just as much as anyone, the butterfly keys feel so much better than the old clickity keys and I’ve gotten use to the TouchBar. F Keys we’re useless to me unless they were remapped, and now the TouchBar gives me a lot of options for customizations.

Been kind of my experience too. Bought my wife a rose gold entry level MacBook a couple of years back and, it’s one of the nicest laptops I’ve ever had. I have a MacBook Pro for work and the touchbar doesn’t bother me. Screen is beautiful, plenty powerful.

I’ll throw one crit out there though: the wireless mouse on my iMac Pro. When it runs out of batteries you have to plug it in, but it plugs in on the bottom. Wired mice have existed since the invention of the mouse, so it’s pretty frustrating that you can’t just plug it in to the front and have it act like a wired mouse while charging. This was clearly done so that the mouse could have its svelte shape. Sigh.

I'm also pretty flexible in my ways and, can accept maintenance of equipment but, assuming one size fits all is a wrong path to follow IMHO.
